The female client diagnosed with low back pain has been self-medicating with ibuprofen (Motrin), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), around the clock. The client calls the clinic and tells the nurse that she has been getting dizzy and light-headed. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
1. Tell the client to get up from a sitting or lying position slowly.
2. Have the client come to the clinic for lab work immediately.
3. Suggest the client take the ibuprofen with food or an antacid.
4. Discuss changing to a different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication
